The rules state that a Hero unit may have three field abilities. Does this mean they can possibly have one off field ability, something that affects unit assimilation? Or does that have to fall in as a field ability?

Think of three field abilities as 3 abilities total, but thanks for helping clarify!

You kind of already answered this, but just for my own clarification, is 1/15/18 the deadline for posting armies as well, or just the deadline for registration?

I haven't clarified that, but 1/15/18 will be the cut off for the registration. Armies should be complete and ready for review no later than 1/19/18 at 11:59PM CST. That should be more than adequate time. If I don't get to any reviews before then, I'll get through them that weekend and hopefully have brackets by that Monday.

Great thanks. Last question (hopefully I didn't just miss this in the rules) what do cavalry units count as? One unit, two units for man+horse, or three units as a "large" unit?

To keep it clean, cavalry will count as large unit with a cost of 3. That cost includes horse and rider. For the sake of nitpicking, if a horse is killed, but not the rider, the player will remove a 3 cost unit and add a 1 cost unit. Likewise if the rider is killed but not the horse, the player can subtract a 1 cost unit to maintain the 3 cost unit. Otherwise, it's assumed the horse ran wild after losing its rider and the 3 cost unit is lost.

Armies are almost finished being approved. We have 7 total armies participating. To make this fair, there will be numbers assigned to each army. A randimizer will create match ups and the one straggler will be considered "wildcard". They will sit out the first round and be given a pass to the second round's 3 participants to make it an even 4. Winners will be announced from that final match up.

I expect to have the final army approved soon and matches declared next week. Good luck.
